How to convert MPG to MP4

Drop the video.
Nothing to choose.
Press Convert and download the MP4.

What happens to your file

The video is decoded and re-encoded as H.264 with AAC sound in a fast-start MP4 — the one file phones, TVs, Windows, Macs and every browser play — at a quality most people cannot tell from the original.

MPEG-2 is large by today’s standards; the MP4 is usually a third of the bytes or less at the same look.

Questions

Can I convert a whole DVD?

One VOB at a time, up to the size limit. A DVD’s main film is split across several VOBs; convert them and merge is coming.

Do it once, not on every form

Fixing a file here means downloading it and going back to the form. The Fylane extension does this work inside the form instead, on the file you already have.

And it keeps the result. The next application that asks for a résumé, a cover letter and a photo fills all three from one tap, each one refitted to what that site accepts.

Your files stay in the browser, encrypted, on your machine. Nothing is uploaded to keep them and nothing is sent anywhere to fill a form.

Filmed from the extension: three upload fields on a job application, filled from one tap.

Add to Chrome — free What it does

Do this in code

curl -X POST https://api.fylane.dev/v1/jobs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FYLANE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "file_id": "<file id>",
    "operation": "video.convert",
    "options": {}
  }'

The same operation, video.convert — Anything playable becomes H.264+AAC in a faststart MP4 — or, by `container`, MOV, MKV, VP9+Opus WebM, or Xvid+MP3 AVI for old players. Plus the small edits: mute, rotate, flip, speed (the sound keeps its pitch), reverse (60 s at most), loop. Upload first with the quickstart; every option is on the operations page. 500 free credits a month, then $5 per thousand.
